Description

There's something hiding among us: an illusive cryptid is prowling our city streets. The evidence is clear but, without definitive proof, the scientific community will never believe you. There's nothing else to be done--you must track down this cryptid yourself!

Play as a determined scientist manipulating heat, movement, and sonic sensors to scan the city, identify your quarry's true location, and capture them. Or take the role of a cryptid, snaking your way through the shadows and back alleys of the metropolis that surrounds you, eliminating all evidence of your existence as you go, desperately avoiding capture. Emerging victorious in this high stakes cat-and-mouse chase, played out across a sprawling urban landscape, will require all your ingenuity and foresight.

Cryptid: Urban Legends is a tense asymmetric game of competitive deductive reasoning for two players from the creators of Cryptid.

Players: 2
Ages: 14+
Playing Time: 20-40 minutes
Contents: 41 cards, 10 plastic cubes, 9 plastic discs

Reviews

"A very cool concept, a very cool game" - Bryan Drake, The Dice Tower

"Combines the chin-scratching of a classic abstract, with card-driven movement that gives it an edge of randomness and timing" - Matt Thrower, Senet 8

"A very clever, very tricky, two-player abstract puzzle." - Punchboard

"...very unique, very interesting. It is definitely an entertaining and fun game." - MarcoOmniGamer

"It's tense, mechanically tight, and encourages repeat play." - Staying In Podcast
